Scientists at the Low Mileage Art - Underhill Think Tank Division were challenged to design a new product line that more accurately depicts an idiosyncratic world upon which the following parameters have been imposed: (1.) the world is flat; and (2.) the world is contained within a quadrilateral space of variable, yet, finite, dimensions of length and width. With their task thus laid out an elite team of experts in disciplines that included quantum mechanics, optics, perceptual psychology, industrial engineering, advanced mathematics, and marketing were assembled from around the world. What amounted to an underground city of the world's most brilliant, creative minds (along with their families) as well as all of the necessary technical and ancillary service staff grew up virtually overnight in a facility located 500 feet below the sprawling Low Mileage Art Studio Complex on Cilley Hill Road. With levels of secrecy that surpassed that of Manhattan Project, what came to be called "The City of Dis" (which includes a particle accelerator - 80 miles in circumference - a level 5 trauma center, a hydroponic farm, a Flying J truck stop, an outlet mall, a textile manufacturing sweatshop, and a Starbucks) worked with fanatical, lock-stepped dedication toward the completion of the project in a subterranean mini-metropolis that was "hardened" to withstand a five megaton surface detonation. The stylistic paradigm shift that was revealed during the course of this project was code named "Mr. Stripey" after the variegated tomato cultivar that inspired it. Although scarcely a word of the above story is verifiably true, (michael smith), CEO of Low Mileage Art, is hopeful that these new paintings will be enjoyed nonetheless by the viewing public. See these and as many other like-styled pieces that can be completed in the next couple of weeks at Union Station or right here on lowmileageart.com
